ʻO kekahi o nā manawa paʻakikī loa ka huakaʻi i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka huakaʻi.Ua hele ʻo ia ma ke komohana ma Kina a hiki i nā panalāʻau komohana komohana, kahi i nui ʻole ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, a ua makaʻala ʻo ia i nā haole, ʻoiai aia i kēia manawa he 1 miliona Uyghur Muslim i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ia wahi.Hale paʻahao.I ka wā i hele ai ʻo Reid ma nā wahi hoʻopaʻa i kēlā me kēia 40 mau kilomita, wehe ʻo ia i ka drone a hūnā ma lalo o ka pahu pahu, a hoʻohana ʻo Google Translate e kamaʻilio me nā mākaʻi aloha, nāna i hāʻawi mau iā ia i ka meaʻai.A hoʻohālike ʻaʻole maopopo inā nīnau lākou i nā nīnau paʻakikī.

I kona makemake ana e uku, he 10 mau Pake makai kuikawa, ua komo lakou i na pale poka, na pu, a me na laau palau, komo mai la lakou, a ninau aku i kekahi mau ninau, alaila, kipaku aku la ia ia me ke kaa, kiola aku la i ke kaa kaa mahope ona, a kipaku aku la iaia a hiki i kahi nana. ike malaila.Ma hope koke iho, puka mai ka leka ma ka lekiō e ʻōlelo ana ua hiki iā ia ke noho ma ka hōkele āna i kipa ai."Makemake nui wau e haʻalele i ka ʻāpana o Kina."
Ua hiamoe ʻo Reid ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui ma ka wao nahele ʻo Gobi, e hoʻāʻo ana e pale i nā hakakā hou aku me nā mākaʻi.I kona hiki ʻana i ka palena ʻo Kazakhstan, ua kaumaha ʻo Reid.He pāpale kiaʻi ākea ākea ʻo ia me ka ʻakaʻaka a me ka lulu lima.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Reid: "E hoʻoikaika nui paha e hele i ke kahua mokulele, a ua hoʻohiki wau."Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me kahi wahi ʻaʻohe wahi e hele ai, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hiamoe ʻana ma ka papahele o ka terminal ma mua o ka logistics o ka hiamoe ʻana ma nā poʻohiwi o ka poʻe ʻaʻohe wahi e hele ai.ʻAʻole makemake ʻia ka moekolohe ma Kina.
"Ua haʻi aku au i ka poʻe i kaʻu e hana nei a hauʻoli mau wau.He huakaʻi kēia.ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo ʻole ʻole.ʻAʻole au i noʻonoʻo e haʻalele.
Ke holo nei ma ka hapalua o ka honua i kahi kūlana kōkua ʻole, pono ʻoe e mākaukau e hana i nā mea he nui a hahai iā lākou.Akā ʻo kekahi o nā mea kupanaha nui a Reid, ʻo ia ka hoʻokipa ʻana o nā kānaka.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "He mea kupanaha ka lokomaikaʻi o nā malihini."Kāhea wale nā ​​kānaka iā ʻoe i loko, ʻoi loa ma Central Asia.ʻO ka lōʻihi o koʻu hele ʻana i ke Komohana, ʻoi aku ka ʻino o ka poʻe.Manaʻo wau he ʻoluʻolu loa nā kānaka.Hāʻawi ka mea hoʻokipa iaʻu i kahi ʻauʻau wela a me nā mea, akā ʻoi aku ka poʻe o ke Komohana i ko lākou honua ponoʻī.Ke hopohopo nei lākou no nā kelepona a me nā mea e hoʻoheheʻe ai nā kānaka, ʻoiai ka poʻe ma ka Hikina ʻoiaʻiʻo e like me Central Asia, ʻike ka poʻe i kāu mea e hana nei.ʻOi aku ko lākou hoihoi iā ʻoe.ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke ʻike i ka nui o kēia mau wahi, a ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke ʻike i nā poʻe Komohana he nui.Makemake nui lākou a hiki ke hele mai e nīnau iā ʻoe i nā nīnau, a maopopo iaʻu, e like me Kelemania, ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o nā huakaʻi kaʻa, a ʻaʻole e kamaʻilio nui nā kānaka iā ʻoe.
Ua hoʻomau ʻo Reid: "ʻO kahi maikaʻi loa aʻu i ʻike ai aia ma ka palena o Afghanistan.""ʻO kahi kahi e makemake ai ka poʻe 'ʻaʻole hele i laila, weliweli loa', ʻo ia ka wahi aloha loa aʻu i ʻike ai.He Muslim Ua ho'ōki ke kanaka iaʻu,'ōlelo maikaʻi i ka'ōlelo Pelekānia, a ua kamaʻilio mākou.Ua nīnau au iā ia inā he mau kahua hoʻomoana ma ke kūlanakauhale, no ka mea, ua hele au ma kēia mau kauhale a ʻaʻohe wahi maopopo.
"I mai la oia: 'Ina e ninau aku oe i kekahi o keia kauhale, na lakou e hoomoe ia oe a ao ka po.'No laila, lawe ʻo ia iaʻu i kēia poʻe ʻōpio ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui, kamaʻilio me lākou, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "E hahai iā lākou".Ke hahai nei au i keia poe ma keia mau alanui, lawe lakou ia'u i ka hale o ko lakou kupunawahine.Hoʻokomo lākou iaʻu ma luna o kahi moena ʻano Uzbek ma ka papahele, hānai iaʻu i kā lākou mau mea ʻono a pau, a lawe iaʻu i laila i ke kakahiaka lawe wau iaʻu e kipa i ko lākou wahi ma mua.Inā lawe ʻoe i kaʻa kaʻa mākaʻikaʻi mai kahi e hele ai, e ʻike ʻoe i kēia mau mea, akā ma ke kaʻa, e hele ʻoe i kēlā me kēia mile ma ke ala.
Ke holo kaʻa kaʻa, ʻo Tajikistan ka wahi paʻakikī loa, no ka mea, piʻi ke ala i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 4600m, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo "ka hale o ka honua".Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Reid: "He nani loa ia, akā aia nā lua ma nā alanui ʻāwili, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā wahi āpau ma ka hikina hikina o ʻEnelani."
ʻO ka ʻāina hope loa i hoʻolako i kahi noho iā Reid ʻo Bulgaria a i ʻole Serbia ma ʻEulopa Hikina.Ma hope o nā kilomita he nui, he mau alanui nā alanui, a ke hoʻomaka nei nā ʻāina e lilo i polū.
“E hoomoana ana au ma ka aoao o ke alanui me ko'u lole hoomoana, a laila hoomaka mai keia ilio kiai e hae mai ia'u.Hele mai kekahi kanaka e nīnau mai iaʻu, akā ʻaʻohe o māua i ʻōlelo maʻamau.Wehe ʻo ia i kahi peni a me ka pā pepa a huki i ke kanaka lāʻau.Kuhikuhi mai iaʻu, huki hale, huki kaʻa, a kuhikuhi i kona kaʻa.Hoʻokomo au i ke kaʻa i loko o kona kaʻa, lawe ʻo ia iaʻu i kona hale e hānai iaʻu, ua ʻauʻau wau, Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kahi moe.A i ke kakahiaka, lawe ʻo ia iaʻu e ʻai hou aku.He mea pena ia, no laila ua hāʻawi mai ʻo ia iaʻu i kēia kukui aila, akā hoʻouna wale mai iaʻu i koʻu ala.ʻAʻole mākou ʻōlelo kekahi i kekahi.ʻAe.Nui nā moʻolelo like e pili ana i ka lokomaikaʻi o nā kānaka.
Ma hope o ʻehā mahina o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻi hope ʻo Reid i ka home i Nowemapa 2019. ʻO ke kiʻi ʻana i kāna huakaʻi ma kāna moʻokāki Instagram e makemake ʻoe e kākau i kahi tikiki ala hoʻokahi ma kahi mamao loa a hana i kahi palapala YouTube haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e lawe mai i ka detoxification maikaʻi loa. ka hoʻoponopono nui a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ke koena o ka Agent platform.He moʻolelo ko Reid e haʻi aku ai i kāna mau moʻopuna.ʻAʻohe ona mokuna e kākau hou ai, a inā hiki iā ia ke hana hou, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e haehae i kekahi mau ʻaoʻao.
"ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu inā makemake wau e ʻike i ka mea i hana.He mea maikaʻi ke ʻike ʻole, "wahi āna.“Manaʻo wau ʻo ia ka pōmaikaʻi o ka hoʻokuʻu iki ʻana.ʻAʻole ʻoe e ʻike.I kekahi hihia, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolālā i kekahi mea.
“E hele hewa ana kekahi mau mea, a i ʻole e ʻokoʻa kekahi mau mea.Pono ʻoe e hoʻomanawanui i ka mea e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka nīnau i kēia manawa, ʻo ka holo kaʻa kaʻa i ka hapalua o ke ao holoʻokoʻa, he aha ke ʻano huakaʻi e lawa ai e hoʻokuʻu iā ia mai kahi moe i ke kakahiaka?
Ua ʻae ʻo ia: "He mea ʻoluʻolu ke holo kaʻa kaʻa mai koʻu home a hiki i Morocco," ʻae ʻo ia, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia he minoʻaka hauʻoli wale nō ma hope o kāna kaʻa hoʻomanawanui.
"Ua hoʻolālā mua wau e komo i ka heihei Transcontinental, akā ua kāpae ʻia i ka makahiki i hala," wahi a Reid, ka mea i ulu me ke kaʻa."No laila, inā hoʻomau ia i kēia makahiki, e hana wau."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Reid, ʻoiaʻiʻo, no kāna huakaʻi mai Kina a i Newcastle, pono ʻo ia e hana i kekahi mea ʻokoʻa.ʻO ka manawa aʻe e hoʻopaʻa au i hoʻokahi lole ʻauʻau wale nō, e hoʻokomo i ʻelua i loko o koʻu ʻeke ʻeke, a laila holo au iā lākou a pau i ka home.
Inā makemake ʻoe e noho me ka minamina, a laila ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ʻelua mau pahu ʻauʻau he koho maikaʻi.
